" My cute niece, from today, I'll be your combat and cultivation teacher while sister ( the matriarch ) will teach you how to nurture your nature core. Learn well and make us proud, got that? " " Yes, uncle. " Sarcony's answer satisfied him. He put her to bed after she was exhausted from playing and met the matriarch.
" Monkey king Wukong, what is the reason for this sudden benevolence? What does this have to do with my daughter? " the matriarch glared at him. " Woah sis, why so furious? I really adopted her as my niece and you as my sister because of it. There is no ulterior motive behind it, I swear on the name of lord Buddha, I am innocent. "
" Hmm, I hope that's the case. Or else, even at the cost of the lives of me and my entire clan, I shall fight you to death. " " There is no need to go that far. I will be the first one to fight if something happens to Sarcony. I truly adore her a lot. In all these years, not a single person, a mortal at that, managed to move my heart like she did. " " Is that really the reason? Are you hiding something from me? " " Nope, nothing at all. That is indeed the true reason for my insistence. "
" How did my daughter awaken a way of the nature essence never heard of? Why is her nature core at level 3 just after awakening? " " She is a born genius, a prodigy, sis. Her dantain shone in gold when I awakened it. I am as clueless as you are. Only time can tell why her condition is peculiar. We can only wait. " Sun Wukong and the matriarch discussed for a while as Sarcony slept, not knowing the concern of her mother and uncle towards her.
After seven years,
" Sarcony, you'll turn twelve in a month. Every elf of our realm, especially the future matriarchs, must attend the ' Human Academy ' in our realm disguised as humans and learn everything about them. You'll graduate from there after six years. So, do you wish to go? "
" I have a choice? " " Of course you do. If you don't want to go, I won't force you. You're my everything, Sarcony, I can't bear to order or force you to do something you don't like. Its your call. "
" Mom, why do we treat humans with such contempt and disgust when the dwarves and fairies are treated with respect and compassion? " " Humans and us Elves have a grudge that has lasted for 700 years and is still continuing. They are the primary reason for the current deplorable condition we are living in. " " Deplorable condition? "
" I am not an ordinary matriarch of an ordinary village. I'm the Realm Queen of this Upper realm. This is my realm, yet, I have no authority at all. This is because all our Ancient elves were caught in a deadlock because of them. " " Ancient elves? "
" Ancient elves are those who have reached a level in both cultivation and nature core equivalent to heavenly immortals ( Human cultivation levels are not used in Elven realms. ). All those who reach such level can freely travel through the outer space and visit other realms. In this galaxy, us Elves have a grand total of 236 realms, all intermediate and upper, where we live. Each realm gave birth to an Ancient elf. Three among them, one being our ancestor ( forefather ) travelled to several realms, some belonging to humans as well. When they witnessed the brutality, deception, dishonesty, arrogance, mania and other ghastly things prevalent in human societies where life was not having any value, they were scared. Afraid that the devious humans would find our realms and corrupt them, they hurriedly returned and informed the Ancient elf council about their findings. 233 of the 236 Ancient elves immediately sacrificed their lifelines and nature cores to create a ' Biased Impervious seal ' that spanned their entire realms allowing only elves and other friendly races while completely blocking a Humans and Demons ( the only race friendly to Humans ) from entering, dying in the process. The three Ancient elves who were late in returning to their realms found human Heavenly immortals and a Lower pantheon deity guarding them clearing the forests of their realms. Enraged, they fought with the deity and the immortals. Elves, in general, have a gentle and mild temperament and live disciplined lives with no sign of any form of malice, a perfect society which Humans dream and envy. But when the forests and beasts which are protected by the Elves are threatened, they become ferocious tigers tearing everything apart. The Lower pantheon deity was terribly injured and all the immortals and the people they brought were killed. After a bout of discussions and arguments and fighting, the three Ancient elves had to agree to give the land equivalent to the size of a lower realm to them in all the three realms. It wasn't much in our ancestor's eyes, hence, they agreed to it and created the biased impervious seals over the remaining areas. These three lower realm sized areas became the three great ' Human Academies ' that serve as educational institutions to their young. Any human who foolishly dares cross the academy walls, or its airspace, will be instantly impaled to the academy walls by spears or arrows shot by the seal. Even now, the academy walls are decorated by hundreds of skeletons of such idiots on the outside. " the matriarch spoke about the 700 year old Human- Elf confrontation.
